6 weeks to go

I am now on my week 28 of my pregnancy. 6 weeks to go before the c-section.  I had betamethasone injection last week- to aid the maturation of the baby's lungs. Mixed emotions... I am excited and scared. 6 weeks is like a breeze.I am still afraid to do baby stuff shopping. Luckily, my sister-in-law will hand down their crib. But, I am afraid to accept the delivery for now. What else to buy?

My KCT and ESR are awful. But, I was spared from my supposedly 5th Smoflipid infusion. Wow! Good news... no more Smoflipid. However, my amino acid is now increased to 24 tablets per day. 6 weeks*7 days/week * 24 tablets/day= 1008 tablets. Ouch! My immunologist target weight for the baby is 2.5kg at week 34. This means the baby should have 0.15kg weight gain per week. I feel like I am an 'eating machine' or a 'food vaccuum' or a 'food monster'. I don't know how do I possibly expand my stomach capacity to accommodate more food.

I had itchy itchy skin this week. I am monitoring my blood sugar and I will recheck my bilirubin next week. I hope I dont have gestational diabetes and cholestasis. Speaking of gestational diabetes, ouch,,, I failed OGTT the third time. I thought that rolled oatmeal is good for diabetics. I caused my sugar spike ya!
